US artist plans to replace lost eyeball with camera

[Bosonic]

A San Francisco-based visual artist, who lost her left eye in a car accident in 2005, has come up with a novel idea of installing a tiny video camera into her prosthetic eye.

Tanya Vlach’s dream is to make it web optimised, perhaps with its own app, so movement could be controlled externally.

She has said that she would like sensors that respond to blinking, enabling the camera to take still photographs, zoom, focus and turn on and off.

The pupil would be sensitive to light change, dilating as a human eye would. There would also be functions for geo-tagging and facial recognition.

1. The real question is

would you give up an eye to get one?

4. In 100 years time, maybe.

Now, no chance.

2. So if she has the stream from the camera going to a website and she watches that website on the....

internet, what will it look like? It's late. I need to go to bed.

5. I was thinking about something like that, or a visual equivalent to feedback.

6. what does she do with the camera images? How does she view them-

Her other eye, I guess.
